Warriors' Steve Kerr makes bold prediction at DNC, wants to say 'good night' to Donald Trump like Steph Curry

Just days after his Team USA claimed its fifth consecutive Olympic medal in men's basketball, Steve Kerr stood onstage at the Democratic National Convention at Chicago's United Center, a place he called home as a former NBA player with the Bulls.

Kerr, who endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for president and vice president ahead of Team USA's Olympic run, explained his reasoning for making the speech, while extolling the Democratic duo to the crowd with Olympic metaphors.

But Kerr was bold with his final comment about how he sees the outcome of this year's presidential election. And, as he did throughout his speech, he circled back to what happened at the Olympics with one specific player who coaches on the Golden State Warriors: Steph Curry.

“I will be out every day to help people vote on November 5th and elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as the next president and vice president of the United States,” Kerr told the crowd.

“After the results are counted tonight, we will be able to, in the words of the great Steph Curry, say to Donald Trump: 'Good night!'”

Kerr is alluding to Curry's now-signature celebration after his late 3-pointer in the gold medal game against France that secured victory for Team USA.

WARRIORS' STEVE KERR ON TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: 'A DEMORALIZING DAY FOR OUR COUNTRY'

Curry, after launching a step-back three-pointer in front of the French defenders, turned to the crowd and rested his head in his hands, signaling that he had just put France to sleep in the game.

It quickly became a viral moment on social media, with many captioning it “Night, night” or “Nuit, nuit,” which translates to night in French.

Kerr prefaced his bold election prediction with his reasoning for endorsing Harris and Walz, sharing his belief that it's “no contest” to go against Trump.

“The reason I said yes to speaking here tonight is that as a coach and former player, as a husband, a son, a father, even a grandfather, and as an American, I believe in a certain kind of leadership,” Kerr said. “I believe leaders should display dignity. I believe leaders should tell the truth. I believe leaders should be able to laugh at themselves. I believe leaders should care and love the people they lead. I believe leaders should possess knowledge and experience, but with the full awareness that none of us have all the answers. In fact, some of the best answers often come from team members.”

“If you look for those qualities in your friends, in your boss, in your employee, in your child's teacher, or in your mayor, shouldn't you want those same qualities in your president? If you think about it that way, there's no comparison. I see all those qualities in Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”

Kerr's political stances have long been known, especially regarding gun control policies in the country. He was one of the sports figures most critical of Trump during his presidency, from 2016 to 2020.

Kerr recently alluded to gun violence when discussing the attempted assassination of Trump.

“It's a demoralizing day for our country and it's another example of not only our political division but also our gun culture,” said Kerr, whose father was assassinated in Beirut in 1984. “A 20-year-old with an AR-15 trying to shoot the former president. It's hard to process everything and it's scary to think about how this will end because of the problems that already exist in the country. So this is a terrible day.”

Kerr said she can already see the tweets saying “Shut up and whistle” while speaking in Chicago, but she knows “full well that talking about politics these days carries risks.”
